This book examines how in navigating Hong Kong's colonial history
alongside its ever-present Chinese identity, the city has come to
manifest a conflicting socio-cultural plurality. Drawing together
scholars, critics, commentators, and creators on the vanguard of
the emerging field of Hong Kong Studies, the essay volume presents
a gyroscopic perspective that discerns what is made in from what is
made into Hong Kong while weaving a patchwork of the territory's
contested local imaginary. This collection celebrates as it
critiques the current state of Hong Kong society on the 20th
anniversary of its handover to China. The gyroscopic outlook of the
volume makes it a true area studies book-length treatment of Hong
Kong, and a key and interdisciplinary read for students and
scholars wishing to explore the territory's complexities.
